Fayyad: Conditions not ripe for renewing negotiations

Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Salam Fayyad said Wednesday that the Palestinians are not ready to resume dialogue with Israel as put forward by the Quartet, according to AFP.

"Our own assessment is that the conditions are not ripe at this juncture for a meaningful resumption of talks," he said at the annual gala for the American Task Force on Palestine, a pro-Palestinian lobby, AFP reported.
